However, the centerpiece of the Grand National Roadster Show will be the America’s Most Beautiful Roadster (AMBR) exhibition.

A total of 12 roadsters from the country’s top builders will compete for glory, plus a check for $12,500. The winner will also have their name added to the impressive nine-foot-tall perpetual trophy – and receive a smaller personal trophy to take home.

A further 12 vehicles will be in competition for the Al Slonaker Memorial Award. This is awarded to the best car or truck not in the running for the AMBR award.

General admission tickets for the 2022 Grand National Roadster Show are on sale now, with prices starting from $25.
